The secret to cellular youth may depend on keeping the nucleolus—a condensed structure inside the nucleus of a cell—small, according to Weill Cornell Medicine investigators. The findings were ...

Biologists discovered that a scaffolding protein called TCOF1 is responsible for the formation of a biomolecular condensate called the fibrillar center, which forms within the cell nucleolus. Inside ...

Deep within the nucleus of every cell lies a structure smaller than a pinpoint that may hold the secret to aging. Scientists at Weill Cornell Medicine have discovered that the nucleolus, long known ...

This model of the nucleus with nucleolus (pink) shows how ribosomal DNA is correctly repaired in young cells. In old cells with enlarged nucleolus, however, DNA repair is inaccurate leading to faster ...

The Nature Index 2025 Research Leaders — previously known as Annual Tables — reveal the leading institutions and countries/territories in the natural and health sciences, according to their output in ...
